Unsure on why there are 1 star reviews here... booked in nice and easily where they accommodated for me the same day on a GAIT analysis. Alan was incredibly friendly, attentive and knowledgeable throughout the running shoe selection experience. Gladly visit again :)

Fantastic service from Joe on the running dept today. He was friendly, polite, attentive and really listened to my needs. He's incredibly knowledgeable; but most importantly; he wants you to leave the store with the correct running shoes. Very impressed with whole the service. He's a real credit to the company. Thanks Joe! 👍👍

Great service from the staff here. Unsure about the other poor reviews which almost put me off this store, glad they didn't. I booked my first gait analysis online, so wasn't sure what to expect. Runners Need is above Snow+Rock, same company, not hard to find. Staff happened to be downstairs so I was welcomed on arrival, forgot his name but the lad doing my analysis walked me up discussing my running/exercise needs & goals etc. Super friendly & knowledgeable throughout. Analysis was great, shown & explained everything about the foot movement, then onto the shoes which would best suit me, great to have that piece of mind I'm not buying blind & risking injuries as a new runner. Tried on a few different shoes/brands including on the treadmill to find which one felt best for me while actually running. Another reason to come in-store instead of buy online, had I bought online I'd probably bought a Hoka just because they're popular but testing them back-to-back I preferred how Asics felt. Manager had come up by this time who had even more expert knowledge! Asked about running socks, another worthwhile investment, he recommended which were the best to go for & why as well as which to avoid. Worth mentioning while I was there I noticed every customer who walked in was asked if they needed any assistance. Don't be put off by the poor reviews, I had a fantastic experience & wouldn't think twice about going back.

Excellent service from Joe at Runners need, he is an expert in his field and provided my wife and I with advice regarding correct choice of running shoes following a proper gait analysis. So glad we came here before taking up running seriously. Would highly recommend this service before taking up running, to avoid any unnecessary injury or pain. Friendly guy, very helpful.

Went down to Runners need for a gait assessment with my partner. Had Joe running the assessment, he was extremely helpful, had an extremely good knowledge and was clearly passionate about making sure People have the right shoe for them despite the pushy and entitled ski crowd demanding people see to them for their ski boots every 2 seconds. Couldn't recommend enough.
